There are much safer & less irritating acne washes out there!  talk to your primary care doctor or dermatologist!

Question 2

Peroxide(doctors order), using hibiclens, st. ives apricot scrub, but nothing helped acne, what to do?

Accepted Answer

What you are describing are basically worthless for acne. You will probably need a combination of topical benzoyl peroxide or retinoids and plus a systemic Rx such as an antibiotic for a short time. Try just the Topicals first.

Question 3

Worried about getting hibiclens in eye when treating acne.  how much washing is needed just to be safe, are there hibiclens alternatives? nottriclosan

Accepted Answer

Frankly, I do not think that Hibiclens is your best treatment option. I suggest you ask your Provider for a prescription fof sulfacet wash or one of the many oral (systemic) treatments for acne. In  the mean time you should desperately try to avoid getting Hibiclens in your eye.

Question 4

Dermatologist suggested hibiclens for acne. i fear it will get in eye, msds says it's bad. i need the stuff.  i use on legs. what's the real risk?

Accepted Answer

But will not help acne. I assume the DR gave you other treatment. If not, see a better dermatologist. If you are using on legs, it is folliculitis due to shaving and hibiclens may help a bit.

Question 5

How to vanish acne?

Accepted Answer

For treatment of acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel or cream is quite helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel or cream such as Cleocin (clindamycin) gel. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin gel can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral antibiotics like tetracycline can be used. If quite severe, a dermatologist may use Accutane.

Question 7

How can i fix my acne?

Accepted Answer

Treating adult acne can be a challenge. The first step is to be kind to your skin and clean it with a gentle cleanser. Harsh scrubbing and strong soaps can make acne worse. The second step is to try the over the counter treatments available. Consult with your doctor to see which ones are right for you. The last step is to avoid picking at your acne as this can lead to scarring and inflammation.

Important to keep your skin clean
wash 2 - 3 times with soap and water daily

skin very well.

Question 9

How can acne be treated?

Accepted Answer

Start with a mild daily cleanser (like cetaphil or dove sensitive skin).  You can use benzoyl peroxide, a topical antibiotic or an oral antibiotic.  Additionally you can use salicylic acid or glycolic acid.  Retinoids (like retin a (tretinoin) or differin) can be used as can Accutane (an oral type or retinoid).  Other treatments include blue light therapy or comedone extraction.

Question 10

What could cause my acne?

Accepted Answer

I hope you welcome the changes that turn you from a child into an adult. The chemical chaos often produces an environment in which the oils and bacteria that cause acne flourish. Thankfully, all acne is manageable today, and it's wrong for anyone to deny you the cheap, effective treatments that are available.
